This week's episode brings us down memory lane.
Our guest on March 31st, 2021 was Roger Strevens, VP Global Sustainability at Wallenius Wilhelmsen. Roger shared with us the design and feasibility assessment of the Orcelle Wind, the car carrier that will be powered primarily by wind, killing emissions by up to 90% in comparison to other new-built ships.
Today, Kat Bride is catching up with Niclas Dahl, managing director of Oceanbird: the Swedish company (joint venture of Alfa Laval and Wallenius) develops and provides technology for wind-powered vessel propulsion. The Oceanbird wing sails will equip the Orcelle Wind.
Niclas is a true believer of using wind to power the maritime industry toward Zero Emission. He is leading his team “to take the step to try something new”, developing top of the art wing sails.
“In my view, the more mature products today are the wind ones" tell us Niclas. He reminds wind is a free energy, abundant and, thanks to the enormous progress of the last decades in forecasting, it’s reliable! We can all agree, it’s time to go forward!
So Niclas Dahl is not wrong when he is saying “There will be early adopters. For the others, I hope they will wake up as soon as possible”
